155 A secret weapon (1)

Who is the person Ignis didn't want to execute after the coup?

I wouldn't have bothered executing anyone, to be honest. The late King and Crown Prince weren't nice people. I'm sure the nobles had their reasons for the attack.

Still, Ignis smiled at me when telling me about this person. I'm so curious to see them.

«I wasn't going to let you meet this person anytime soon. But, since you asked, we're here,» Ignis says while the guards start opening the first door.

The first, since there are many others, each with many locks. This person isn't just guarded but locked so deep that I wonder how they deliver food.

Oh, most likely, the servant passages are left open. Which noble would dare use those, either way?

While we get closer to the last door, something changes in the air. It becomes vibrant and unresting, a mixture of different energies taking the unmistakable shape of a barrier. Magic.
